Absolute Dental Group breach — $3.3M settlement, final hearing July 30
A filing for Absolute Dental Group, LLC in Nevada lists the entity as a Business Associate. The HHS OCR record, submitted on May 2, 2025, reports 1,223,635 individuals affected by a hacking/IT incident on a network server. A $3.3 million class action settlement received preliminary court approval on March 6, 2026. The Final Approval Hearing is set for Thursday, July 30, 2026, per the official settlement administrator site. (The court docket entry, Doc. 92, reads "Thursday, July 31" — July 31 is a Friday, and every other source gives July 30, so the docket appears to contain a clerical error.) If your organization contracts with this dental group, confirm the date with the settlement administrator.
